If the beam is subjected to a shear of $V=15 \mathrm{kN}$ determine the web's shear stress at $A$ and $B$. Indicate the shear-stress components on a volume element located at these points. Set $w=125 \mathrm{mm}$. Show that the neutral axis is located at $\bar{y}=0.1747 \mathrm{m}$ from the bottom and $I_{N A}=0.2182\left(10^{-3}\right) \mathrm{m}^{4}$.

Key Concepts

Shear Stress in Beams

Shear stress in beams is a measure of the internal forces that develop as a result of applied shear loads. It is commonly calculated using the relation ? = VQ/It, where V is the applied shear force, Q is the first moment of area about the neutral axis for the portion of the section above (or below) the point in question, I is the second moment of area (moment of inertia) of the entire cross?section, and t is the width of the material at the level where the stress is being evaluated. This concept is central to understanding how beams resist shear forces.

Shear Flow and Stress Distribution

The shear flow represents the distribution and transfer of internal shear forces across the cross-section of a beam. It describes how the shear stress is spread over a given area and is particularly important when examining the behavior of thin-walled sections such as the web of an I-beam, where the load is primarily carried. The analysis involves identifying the location and magnitude of shear stresses on differential elements within the material.

Moment of Inertia

The moment of inertia (I) quantifies the distribution of a beam's cross-sectional area relative to an axis, and it plays a critical role in determining the beam’s resistance to bending. In calculating shear stresses, I appears in the denominator of the shear formula and helps to characterize the overall stiffness of the section under bending loads.

Neutral Axis

The neutral axis of a beam's cross-section is the line along which there are no normal stresses during bending. It is the reference line from which distances are measured when determining both the first moment of area (Q) and the moment of inertia (I). Locating the neutral axis is fundamental in the analysis of bending and shear in beams, as it defines the transformation of the cross-sectional geometry under load.

Stress Components on an Element

When analyzing stresses on a differential volume element within the beam, it is necessary to consider how the applied shear force generates stresses that are not uniformly distributed. In this context, one must identify and decompose the shear stress components acting on the faces of the element, which may include both vertical and horizontal contributions. This decomposition is important for understanding the local behavior of the structure and ensuring that all components that contribute to the overall shear capacity are properly accounted for.
